Mike,

I took the fiberglass bumpers of my '90 MV and installed GoWesty steel plate
bumpers and I loved them. They were $750 for the pair (includes shipping
from CA to PA) and really looked like they belonged on a VW. I had my body
shop remove all cladding and fill all the holes and had the bottom painted
to match (Orly blue) I was very pleased. Sold all the cladding which paid
for the shipping, still have the front bumper and tossed the back (smashed).
I don't have any pictures as the van is gone but I would do it again if my
'87 bumpers ever get dented.
